The Death Knell

After a while, a long and narrow aircraft flew from the sky. The back cabin opened, and a bald man in a wheelchair floated out with a smile. He also brought a large group of people, but these people just nodded to the death knell. , and went into the battlefield on the street.

The intensity of the war escalated instantly, and various ice and fire energies and rays of various colors made the scene instantly more beautiful.

"Uncle Wilson, I thought you called me here to handle this battle."

Charles looks much older now, but instead he wants to call a young man who looks less than thirty years old uncle.

"Let the young people of the X-Men play. I called you here to ask about the cosmic radiation incident. The person next to me is the king of Attilan, the alien country, Black Bolt." Professor X is older. It was not good to eat too much at night, so Su Ming had no intention of re-serving the dishes: "Black Card, this bald man is one of my juniors, Charles Xavier, one of the leaders of the mutants on Earth."

Black Bolt didn't quite understand why Deathstroke called the mutants over, but he still smiled politely, a smile that didn't even show his teeth.

In fact, he really asked the right person to ask Professor

"I paid attention to the four scientists who returned to Earth. They now call themselves the Fantastic Four. I originally thought that cosmic radiation activated the latent X gene in their bodies and turned them into mutants. However, during the close contact later, I found out they weren’t.”

"What is that?" Su Ming handed Charles a cigarette, but the professor politely refused and pushed him back: "According to you, only those who are born with the X gene are considered mutants. What are these acquired mutations?"

The bald man raised a hand to support his chin, as if he was thinking about the appropriate words to use, or as if he was distracted.

At this time, the stench of burnt fur of orangutans being grilled by live people below the building also drifted over. The stench made Charles come back to his senses:

"Humans, special humans. According to the words of the 'Beast', the DNA sequences of the four people were completely shattered and reorganized in the radiation. If we compare it to a mobile phone, it is like each of them has experienced a system reinstallation. , were restored to factory settings, but unfortunately we can’t compare their inspection materials with the ancient apes from billions of years ago.”

Charles had obviously seen the TV commercial of Captain America, and he made a very fashionable analogy with his mobile phone.

Su Ming had a guess in his mind, but he didn't say anything, just nodded slightly: "This information is very valuable, so do you think their descendants will produce mutants?"

"This is almost inevitable. All the genes in their base pairs are now activated and in a dominant state. If they are combined with each other, the chance of producing a dominant child of the X gene is almost 100%."

Charles answered the question with a smile and raised his hand to the waiter for a cup of tea.

Black Bolt held up a sign: "Why is a person born with a dominant X gene considered a mutant?"

The professor nodded to his alien friends. He used his psychic abilities to direct the battle below, and at the same time answered Black Bolt's question:

"Almost all humans have the X gene, which is lurking in everyone's blood. My philosophy has always been that mutants are human beings and should not make any distinction... But in fact, our situation is not good. People are very hostile to us. I can only protect individuals who clearly show abilities and are exposed as a result. Mutants are just a transitional term. One day people will find that our minds are no different from theirs. There is no need to call us mutants, we call them humans."

After hearing this, Su Ming also added a few words and said to King Bat:

"Mutants are a bit like you aliens at this point, except that your genes need to use Terrigen crystals to activate abilities. Crystals are fixed mutagens. Mutants don't need this step, and many people show it unexpectedly. The power has caused destruction, and after activating the X gene, many people's appearance will become strange, which is the reason for being discriminated against."

In fact, he knew more information than that. For example, Terrigen crystal atomized and inhaled can allow mutants who have lost their abilities to regain their strength.

But the effect is usually temporary, just like pouring gasoline on a candle. Mutants exposed to Terrigen Mist will become stronger, but they will soon burn out their abilities and lifespan, and finally die tragically from genetic collapse.

At the same time, the Terrigen Crystal is also fatal to ordinary humans. Contact with a little bit of the mist will turn people into stone.

There are five Inhumans in the universe. In addition to Black Bolt, the one transformed from humans, during the first Kree-Skrull War, the Kree also created four other Inhuman races.

They are the 'Kemilians' who use Antigen Tree nectar extract as a catalyst, the 'Centaurs' who use Isogen Orbs as a catalyst, and the 'Centaurs' who use Exogen Spice inhalants as their catalysts. Horrible Wraiths', and the 'Baton Tribe' who are injected with amphigenesis to activate their abilities.

These five races are collectively known as Marvel's cosmic Inhumans. Of course, those creatures are hundreds of millions of light-years away from the solar system where the Earth is located, and cannot be seen at ordinary times.

"Okay, we got a little off topic. Now you can confirm that the Fantastic Four's performance is more like 'atavism', right?"

Su Ming knocked on the table and confirmed with the professor again.

Charles smiled and nodded, raised his head and looked at Deathstroke calmly: "I believe in Hank's judgment. Since he said yes, it must be yes. I think he is the best geneticist on the planet now."

"That's it... To be on the safe side, you give the Fantastic Four sample you obtained to Black Bolt and ask him to take it back to Attilan and use Kree technology to test it. If it is confirmed to be atavism, I probably have an idea for this matter, and I will inform you once the time comes, as things are likely to slip quickly in a direction we don’t want to see.”

Deathstroke explained the matter to the two of them very seriously. In the Marvel world, if anything originates on the earth, it is definitely not a trivial matter. The "geocentric theory" of American comics is not a joke.

"That's fine, but please ensure that their genetic samples will not be leaked to others. I promised them that it was only for testing, not for making weapons."

Charles agreed. In fact, he knew that it would be useless to object to Deathstroke.

"Dr. Richards's sample is more valuable. I suggest you make a backup as well. Others can do whatever they want." Su Ming nodded. Charles still has a bottom line. At least this one from the 40K universe has one: "I'm quite curious. How did you take the stone man's genetic sample and scrape some powder from his body?"

Charles was also used to Deathstroke's cold jokes. Although they sounded discriminatory, he knew they were just jokes.

"We have Phantom Cat, so it's not difficult for the X-Men to retrieve objects from the air."

Charles turned his wheelchair and came to the edge of the rooftop, looking at the battlefield below. The situation had greatly improved after Carol and the X-Men joined. The orangutans basically died tragically from various energy bombardments.

And what about Iron Man? They were still fighting like Hawkeye was playing house, and neither of them seemed to have any intention of dealing with the orangutan.

Professor

"You don't need superpowers to read minds. Yes, that man is a bit special, but it won't be good for you to know too much. Just do what you should do. I'll continue paddling for a while and wait for Attilan's test. When the results come out, it’s time for me to take action.”

Su Ming also set his sights on Thor. The God of Thunder, who had lost his divine power, was struggling on the battlefield.

Frost and flames are flying all over the sky, cosmic energy and crimson rays are crisscrossing everywhere, accompanied by explosion shock waves, plus small-scale tsunamis.

He hung like seaweed on the stern of Tony's yacht. It was obvious that he had vomited just now and must have drank sea water.

Not bad, the little Thor has probably experienced the misery of mortals suffering when gods fight, right? I hope he can understand what empathy is in the future.

The progress is almost as expected, and the agreement with Odin is almost completed...
